The Zionist movement started as a secular one, and a plurality in Israel are still secular. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) started as a secular Marxist organization. Religion has only entered the conflict after the collapse of the Soviet Union, with the support of the Netanyahu wing of Likud for both Hamas and Jewish extremists. Many atrocities, including the Nakba and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, happened under completely secular rule. Religion is not central or essential to the conflict, history is, identity is, and secular Jewish ethnic supremacism is. Stop projecting your militant atheist wishful thinking onto this conflict.
